I gotta' admit though. I saw an episode of Blue Collar where they did a skit that had all the men out on the back deck cooking out. One started off by telling the other, "Jim, you really got a nice, big deck." It just went off from there.
"Well, thank you Bob. My wife thought my deck was too big at first, but now she loves my deck. She likes to end every day on my huge deck"
"I've always thought my deck was too small. I got a little bitty ole deck"
"Well Ted, why don't you try trimming the bushes from around the base of your deck. Makes it look much bigger."
